Sautéed Green Beans with Bacon

Disclosure: This Sautéed Green Beans with Bacon recipe was developed for Farberware Cookware as part of sponsored post.

Bacon Green Beans

We finally have our Thanksgiving plans figured out…unless they change again. This year we will be spending Thanksgiving with my in-laws but we still need to decide who is bringing what. So far, I know that my in-laws will make the turkey, mashed potatoes and corn casserole. We will be bringing a ham, pecan pie and these green beans with bacon!

Farberware Set

I made these sautéed green beans with bacon using my new Farberware Dishwasher Safe Nonstick Aluminum 12-piece Cookware Set in champagne and guess what… you can enter below to win a set of your own! My set came with a 1 quart covered saucepan, 2 quart covered saucepan, 5 quart covered Dutch oven, 2.75 quart covered saute, 10″ skillet, slotted spoon, solid spoon and a slotted turner. This Farberware Dishwasher Safe Nonstick Aluminum 12-Piece Cookware Set is made with heavy-duty aluminum that heats fast and evenly to help reduce hot spots that can burn foods. Farberware Dishwasher Safe Cookware gets its superior performance from Teflon nonstick coating.

Pan Fried Bacon

To make this recipe, start by frying slices of bacon in the 2.75 quart sauté pan.

Stovetop Green Beans

Put the beans into bacon grease and saute for a few of minutes. Then, add the water, salt and pepper. Cover the pan with a crack to allow the steam to escape and cook the beans.

Green Beans with Bacon

Immediately before serving, top the beans with bacon crumbles and French fried beans! Green beans are always part of a traditional holiday dinner, but when bacon and French fried onions are added, the green beans become a showcase dish.

  2. I would actually give them to my mom, she is currently using pots and pans that people have given her and she has a few from thrift stores. My guess as to what she would make would probably be pork chops, fried or mashed potatoes, her famous mac n cheese, stove top corn bread, gravy, tortillas and a bunch of other yummy mommy stuff!

  52. The first thing I would make would be Spam Musubi.
    The holidays always make my honey long for the foods he learned to love while he was living on Oahu. (and it is surprisingly tasty. I was pretty doubtful at first!)

  59. I would start off right by making some chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, and a steamed veggie mix (gotta have 1 item semi-healthy to feel good about eating all that!).

  128. I plan on cooking Christmas dinner for 15 people. I would like to use the 5 Quart Dutch oven to make the mash potatoes. Since its nonstick clean up should be a breeze so that it can do double duty to make the cook the corn casserole. Thanks for considering me.

  169. i probably wouldn’t be using it as much as my husband…..he is a wonderful cook and gets home before me several times a week so he cooks quite often. we have been trying paleo recipes lately so it would probably be something out of one of his new cookbooks

    steak
    homemade mashed potatoes
    bacon green beans
    cheesecake with homemade caramel!

  176. I would make my boys some scrambled eggs, without thinking about the stuck-on mess I’d be left with my current, past-their-prime cookware. Better yet, I’d let them make their own eggs, without having to worry about the even-bigger stuck-on mess I’d be left with!
